  • you can’t move that account somewhere else.

    That means you can migrate between servers and keep all your friends and followers, something that’s currently not possible in the Fediverse.

    It absolutely is possible to move accounts between instances on the fediverse. I’ve done it multiple times.

    It does have some quirks tho. Posts aren’t migrated to your new account. (Some fedi software lets you migrate posts, but from what I hear it’s kinda jank).

    It’s not seamless, but the option is there, and you won’t lose any friends or followers (unless they’re defederated or something)

    Bluesky accounts seem like they’ll be more portable than fediverse accounts but I don’t know much about it





    • Proper federation of favorites and boosts. You can’t see favorites from people outside of your instance for some reason, and boosts are sorta federated from people outside of your instance, but still not fully. Lemmy manages to federate upvotes fine, so it seems like it’d be possible.

      The app I use (Moshidon) loads the actual favorite count when you open the favorites list, but it’s annoying I have to go through that step.

    • Quoting Posts

    • Higher poll option count. 4 is not enough. I’d say it should be at least 6, preferably something like 15 or 25.

    • Higher character count per post. No reason for it to be capped at 500. I’d say the default should be 1500.

      Also I think it’s hard for admins to change the default character count, so that should be made easier.

    • I’d really like an algorithm (optional, of course). Getting content you want to see is really difficult. It’s hard to find people to follow, and when you do you get all of their posts in your feed, not just the ones you want to see.




  • That’s a great idea! I didn’t know about shields.io. Just added it to !celeste@lemmy.ca

    I changed the link a little from the one you posted. Mine is:

    [![Subscriber Count](https://img.shields.io/lemmy/celeste%40lemmy.ca?logo=lemmy&label=Subscribers)](https://lemmy.ca/c/celeste)
    

    Subscriber Count

    • I added alt text (so if the image doesn’t load, or people are using screen readers, they can still understand what it is),
    • changed ‘Total Subscribers’ to just ‘Subscribers’,
    • and made the badge a link to the community in the original instance, so anyone wondering why the numbers don’t match up can click the badge to see where the number’s coming from.
